Introduction
Safety chains have been added to driveline halves and guards sold by MacDon Parts. These parts can be used to replace
damaged driveline halves and guards on all MacDon CA20 and CA25 Combine Adapters and FM100 Float Modules. If
servicing a driveline not originally equipped with safety chains, the chain on the replacement part needs to be removed
first to prevent damage to the guard caused by only one half of the guard rotating during operation. This document
explains who needs to remove the chains, and how to install the replacement parts.
The kit should include one driveline half or guard, with attached safety chain, and a copy of this instruction.
Installation time
Installation time for this kit is approximately 30 minutes.
Conventions
The following conventions are used in this document:
• Right and left are determined from the operator’s position. The front of the header is the side that faces the crop; the
back of the header is the side that connects to the combine.
• Unless otherwise noted, use the standard torque values provided in the header operator’s manual and technical
manual.
NOTE:
Keep your MacDon publications up-to-date. The most current version of this instruction can be downloaded from our
Dealer-only site (https://portal.macdon.com) (login required).

Chapter 1: Safety
1.1 Signal Words
Three signal words, DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION, are used to alert you to hazardous situations. Two signal words,
IMPORTANT and NOTE, identify non-safety related information. Signal words are selected using the following guidelines:
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. It may also be
used to alert against unsafe practices.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may be used
to alert against unsafe practices.
IMPORTANT:
Indicates a situation that, if not avoided, could result in a malfunction or damage to the machine.
NOTE:
Provides additional information or advice.

Figure 1.1: Safety Equipment
CAUTION
The following general farm safety precautions should be part of
your operating procedure for all types of machinery.
Protect yourself.
• When assembling, operating, and servicing machinery, wear
all protective clothing and personal safety devices that could
be necessary for job at hand. Do NOT take chances. You may
need the following:
• Hard hat
• Protective footwear with slip-resistant soles
• Protective glasses or goggles
• Heavy gloves
• Wet weather gear
• Respirator or filter mask
1000005
Figure 1.2: Safety Equipment
• Be aware that exposure to loud noises can cause hearing
impairment or loss. Wear suitable hearing protection devices
such as earmuffs or earplugs to help protect against loud
noises.
1010391
Figure 1.3: Safety Equipment
• Provide a first aid kit in case of emergencies.
• Keep a properly maintained fire extinguisher on the machine.
Be familiar with its proper use.
• Keep young children away from machinery at all times.
• Be aware that accidents often happen when the operator is
tired or in a hurry. Take time to consider safest way. NEVER
ignore warning signs of fatigue.
SAFETY
214923 3 Revision A
1000007
Figure 1.4: Safety around Equipment
• Wear close-fitting clothing and cover long hair. NEVER wear
dangling items such as scarves or bracelets.
• Keep all shields in place. NEVER alter or remove safety
equipment. Make sure driveline guards can rotate
independently of shaft and can telescope freely.
• Use only service and repair parts made or approved by
equipment manufacturer. Substituted parts may not meet
strength, design, or safety requirements.
1000008
Figure 1.5: Safety around Equipment
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, and hair away from moving parts.
NEVER attempt to clear obstructions or objects from a
machine while engine is running.
• Do NOT modify machine. Unauthorized modifications may
impair machine function and/or safety. It may also shorten
machine’s life.
• To avoid injury or death from unexpected startup of machine,
ALWAYS stop the engine and remove the key from the
ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
1000009
Figure 1.6: Safety around Equipment
• Keep service area clean and dry. Wet or oily floors are
slippery. Wet spots can be dangerous when working with
electrical equipment. Be sure all electrical outlets and tools
are properly grounded.
• Keep work area well lit.
• Keep machinery clean. Straw and chaff on a hot engine is a
fire hazard. Do NOT allow oil or grease to accumulate on
service platforms, ladders, or controls. Clean machines before
storage.
• NEVER use gasoline, naphtha, or any volatile material for
cleaning purposes. These materials may be toxic and/or
flammable.
• When storing machinery, cover sharp or extending
components to prevent injury from accidental contact.
